“Waiting on Wednesday” is a weekly event hosted by Jill at the Breaking The Spine. It showcases upcoming releases we’re anticipating!

My pick of the week is:

Scarlet Witch: Witches’ Road Vol 1

By: James Robinson

Coming: 19 July

Publisher: Marvel

Summary:

Witchcraft is broken – and the SCARLET WITCH is on a journey across the globe to fix it. From the back alleys of Manhattan, to the serene Greek Isles, to the bustling streets of Hong Kong, Wanda will have to face down her foes and find out who her true friends are. But as Wanda solves magical crimes and pieces witchcraft back together, the most important question remains: Who is the mastermind that broke it in the first place? COLLECTING: SCARLET WITCH 1-6, UNCANNY AVENGERS ANNUAL 1

Why I’m excited:

I’ve recently gotten into the comics behind the movies. I liked Scarlet Witch in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but I really liked her in Captain America: Civil War. I stocked up on comics on Free Comic Book Day, so I started looking into other comics and I found that Scarlet Witch has a new series starting. It’s already out on kindle, but I this is the first few comics in the new series bound in a physical copy.

Why I need you to be excited:

Scarlet Witch was a fascinating secondary character in both Ultron and Civil War. I think this would be a nice break from novels and give you a quick read. (Great if you’re behind on your Goodreads challenge like me!)
